10 Super green, plant-based smoothie recipes

Green smoothies sound great, in principle anyway. They can provide you with energy, improve your digestion and give you a whole host of important vitamins and minerals, but for many people, the whole idea of a green, veggie smoothie just doesn’t sound like anything that they would want to drink. Some green smoothies have, shall we say, an acquired taste, to say the least. Here are ten green smoothie recipes for the beginner that taste great, and are good for your health.

1. Pear, basil and lemon smoothie

This smoothie recipe combines the fibre of pears with the flavour of lemon juice and fresh basil leaves, in a fabulous tasting smoothie that has anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to boost your immune system. It’s a surprising combination of flavours, but we think you’ll love it!

¼ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 cup fresh basil
